Pen It is a surprising and pleasing filing to observe that the Cincinnati Commercial keeps in mind one of our forgotten paragraphs, long enough for "Creswell's Company" to carry the Commercial to Washington and back, before pitching into it. The surprise is less gratifying and pleasing to find the Commercial preserving a fine bead to its temper during all this long time, so that it pitches in in the most angry and exasperating fashion. The most torrid thermometer could hardly keep one's temper at the boiling point for a week. It is only a lively Bense of gratitude that can fill one with such noble rage at such a distance of time and space. Our readers may have forgotten (we had forgotten) that the State Journal copied from the Chicago Tribune a supposed comment on the Friday speech of Foster in reply to Butler, which was complimentary to Mr. Foster's ability at the expense of his taste. The writer in the' Commercial, with much gratuitous illna-ture, asserts that the paragraph was intended to apply to Butler, although it certainly seemed to us to apply to FoBter. It was a singularly indirect paragraph to find in the Tribune, where the paragraphs . usually stab the sense like a stiletto. The man who supposes that we could willfully misrepresent such a paragraph, especially under such circumstances, must have had his suspicions perverted by very discreditable associations. We have used no harsher language about Foster at any time than the writer of the Commercial uses in his friendly paragraph ; the worst thing we have complained of was that Foster permitted himself to enter into rivalry with pnch a blackguard as Benjamin F. Butler, in the use of his own weapons. We did not wantour Ohio Btpresentative smirched in such an encounter. It is certainly a little exasperating under such circumstances to have the Commercial writer charge us with favoring Butler. . The Commercial writer seems to have made it his Bpecial business to become the expounder and defender of FoBter, and we would not be too fastidious as to any little jealousy he may feel in that quarter. It is a snperserviceable piece of teal, however, showing a supernatural state of anxiety and tension, for him to use the word "garbling." His affection for the beloved object blinds him, and where he would be heroic he is only ridiculous. As we have no desire to misrepresent the position of the Tribune on this or any other question, we quote the paragraph in full, leaving the reader to judge whether the last half of it refers to But ler or Foster. We submit whether any one uninspired by close rapport with the Tribune's Washington umbilical would not have been liable to suppose, as we did, from a mere glance, that the part from the words, "Next came Mr. Foster," refer red to Mr. Foster'a own speech : Mr. Butler delivered bis big speech last night to a full house. He undertook I defense of himself in the Jayne and San born cases, and incidentally did what lay in his power to impuen the veracity and good faith of the men who appeared as prosecutors of the informer system before the Ways and Means committee. The speech was intensely personal. Poor Mr. Dodge came in for a terrible excoriation, in which grave accusations followed close upon mean insinuations, and which was throughout colored by misrepresentation and audacious talsehood. Jext came Mr, Foster. His motives in pressing the San' born investigation were attacked, but. on the whole, he has no reason to mourn over his appearance in the case, from first to last. The speech is well worth reading as a specimen of the worst style of Con Kressional oratory. It is smart, but not truthful; powerful, but not decent Pictures of Columbus Jour nalists. The Columbus Gazette of yesterday has a sprightly and readable series of Personals under the above title, serving up the State Journal corps in various styles-stewed, roasted, grilled, deviled and so forth. Not to be behindhand in professional courtesies, a reporter ' from the State Journal was sent around to the Gazette office yesterday, armed with a collection of railroad passes and other deadhead persuaders, to catch the eye of the Gazette people and get good likenesses. He came back a little before midnight last night, in a condition which showed that he had not been with the Crusaders. He said Dodithon's wine was the pure juice of the grape, and he would never drink any more stuBf of any other kind, o long as grass run and water grew. He went home with symptoms of cholic at about one o'clock; leaving an amateur reporter to patci up his report the best he could from the very imperfect notes left in his possession. If there are any inaccuracies in the report they must be charged to the fact that the wine played Old Gooseberry with our reporter. The first person on the notes iB CHARLES SCOTT GLENN. Mr. Glenn is a little man with intensely black hair, and a melodious. base voice, pitched on CC below. He has ears of touching sweetness, and corduroy pantaloons. He is distinguished for a whole-souled love of peanuts, and double-soled Alligator boots. When composing his articles he wears the melancholy, fore boding look of the despairing child of genius, whom the gods love, and who dies young. (Sweet are the uses of adver tisements.) Mr. Glenn is the author of those thrilling notices of brood mares and high born stallions, which have made the Gazette peerless among newspapers wherever the English language is spoken. He also writes the marriage notices, premium lists of the County Fair, obituaries, Bingle wraps, notices of stray pigs and wives, stolen jackasses, and loBt poodles. The excellence of all these de-partments in the Gazette shows that Char ley is one of our most talented journalists. In addition to this he is a thoroughly com petent business man, and knows everything about a printing office from cellar to garret. He graduated in the State Journal office, and (to put it in the original Greek) he knows his biz. AUGUSTUS B. LAURENS is a Virginian by name and a poet by nature. He is a descendant in a direct line from one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and always keeps up a little celebration of his own in memory of the day. Mr. Laurens is a tall, fair-haired man, elegantly dreBsed and close shaven, who wears a seven-and-a-half plug hat with the greatest precision and elegance. He is the poet laureate of the Gazette, and has published a collection ot his finer poems in a handsome volume none genuine unless sold by the property authorized agents. We coine now to the leading writer on the Gazette, the author of Walks Along the Kiver, Summer in the Country, Our Say (this is not the beer man), and various other charming papers in the Gazette. Need we say (no, we need not, in this community,) that we refer to DAVID DODITHON. This gentleman is one of those remarkable characters who would be noticed any-,where, in any gathering, as one not of the common herd. You would recognize him at once as a natural flutist, and a lover of the gentle watermelon. He is rather fastidious as to dress, wearing store clothes and a sheep-Bkin overcoat most of the year round. While summering in the country he decorates himself with a palm leaf hat and red suspenders which look Bweet- ly amid the gay and innocent surroundings of rural life. As seen going about on his farm, in this chaste and simple costume, milking the pigs, mulching the turnips, grafting the beans, and doing other little odd chores of scientific farming, he is a pleasing ex ample of that wholesome existence which as been sung by poets since Adam delved and Eve Bpun. (We don't believe Adam ever did delve, but we don't care Adam, in this connection, as it is all poetic license, anyhow.) To return to our mut ton, when we contemplate Dodithon in the innocent hilarity of Hub pastoral ex hitence we feel that Plough delp' while sluggards sleep, And you shall have corn to sell and to keep. All the Doctor Franklin in our nature comes bubbling out, as we observe this early bird harvesting his worms, setting an unavailing example to all workers on morning newspaper, who neglect the great maxim Ho who would thrive Must rise at five. To see him thus at eventide, after a fru gal meal of buttermilk and onions, blow ing his soul away to everlasting bliss on that flute, the ravishing tones of Bonny Doon mingling with the solemn bleating of the calves and the plaintive howla of the house dog, is to wish that there were no such thing as editors and Columbus Gazettes in the world. Yet, he who should rashly express such a wish would do injustice to the in finite objectivity of the ail-embracing Ego. For when you have seen Dodithon working among the onion beds and cavorting on the flute, you have seen only the lab aide of him. as it were. To see him composing those Laconoclastic Poyserism in " Our Say," is to see him at his level best and that is a huckleberry above any farm persimmon. You will hardly prepared to credit it, but he writes those wonderful paragraphs while playing the flute with one hand, and balancing crookneck squash of his own raising on the end of his venerable nose. He play Bonny Doon all the time he composes, occasionally fondling the squash, in an absent minded way, as though tossing the skill like this that makes angels weep. The paragraphs prove it. This leads us to speak of the personal appearance of the man. He is a man of about five feet eight, bisected about midway by a pair of nankeen pantaloons, based on No. 11 Oxford ties. His golden hair falls in graceful festoons around a Gothic neck ; and he rears up gently in walking, like one raising himself endwise over eleven inches of toe. He is beautiful he is good. Children cry for him and mothers bless him. We could say more, but the Managing Editor won't let us. He swears that if we write another line he will send us to Straitsville to report the riot, That settles it. Prison Barbarity. The existing condition of things in the Missouri State Prison is thus described by the St. Louis Democrat : Work is still suspended, and will be suspended until what is called "discipline" is restored, or until a general jail-break is made, and mincemeat manu factured out of some contractors and officials. Meanwhile, the days are being employed in dragging out half suffocated wretches from their "blind cell," tying them to a whipping-post, and lashing them with a cat o' nine tails, manufactured especially for the purpose, till they faint away; whereupon Dr. Young hastens to feel their pulses, and, as soon as he ascertains that the prisoners are able to stand some more lashing, without absolutely killing them, will give a sign, and the executioners renew their duty. If we are not mistaken, the doctor has confessed himself unable to attend to more than twelve such cases a day, and as the number assigned to "punishment" is mentioned at two hundred, it must take about twenty days supposing that religious considerations do not permit him to officiate on Sunday before the whole lot is got through with. How many of them will die under or in consequence of the operation, will never be known, for neither the doctor nor the penitentiary officials are likely to divulge it, and no one else can know. Tubtilnr Iron. At a recent meeting of the American Tubular Iron and Steel Association, at Philadelphia, it was stated that tubular wrought iron manufactured by the American process is stronger, Bafer and less lia ble to crystallization man soua wrougni iron. Car axles were cited as an example, and these, it was asserted, could be made as strong, safe and' reliable, and, with 25 per cent, less weight, would Bave as much motive power as is required to propel the extra weight. In addition, the tubular wrought iron can be made to cost no more per lineal foot than solid iron. The process of manufacture is briefly as follows : Segmental circular bars are first rolled, one set lor the interior, an other for the exterior of the pile, taking care in piling to have one set lap or break joints over the other. These two segments are piled over shorter interval bars or rings, or rings and bars. The bars are made at the same heat that the iron is of which they are composed. In heating the hollow pile is heated from the outside and inside at the same time. In welding the outer and inner segments, piled over the shorter segments and rings, form a verv strong arch, which is maintained throughout the welding and reduction of the pile, produces a tube not only lap-welded, but also a tube with varying lameters, and without any internal former. Discovery ol I.euil Ore In Meigs t;ouniy Pomeroy Telegraph, 24th Our readers have already been informed of the boring of a well for oil, now in progress on the farm of Mr. John 1. Cald well, ol lrftart, in tnis county, ine wen has now reached a depth of 280 feet. At the depth of 250 feet a 6 foot vein of coal was struck. Below this is 3J feet of rock. Then comes 26 feet of lead ore mixed with what appears to be sandstone rock and iron pyrites. The lead ore was brought up in small square pieces, and DDears to be quite pure. Mn beating some of them in a tinner's furnace, they were found to melt freely, and yielded about 50 tier cent, of what appears to be pure soft lead. We have some specimens of the ore in our office, for the inspection of the curious, .. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL Night Dispatches. LANCASTER. Third Day of (lie Baces-FIne Weather nnd Large Attendance. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Lancaster, June 26. The third days races were well favored to-day, both by the weather and attendance. The first race was a trot for 3:38 horses, three best in five, for a $600 purse. Out of thirteen entries nine started. After an hour's scoring the horses got away, making all kinds of a heat, and coming in in the fol lowing order : Bed Oak, Maggie Kember- ly, Josie Blonde, Dick Sliter, Belle Bras-field, ForeBt Maid, Silver Maid, Belle Brikley. Time 2:41. The second heat was taken by Keel Qak in the Bame time; Dick Sliter second, Blonde third, Belle Rrasfield fourth. Josie fifth. Belle Brikley sixth, Silver Maid seventh, Forest- Maid eighth. Maggie Kemberly ninth. The, third heat was won oy iteo uaa, neue Brasfield second, Dick Sliter third. Time 2:40 J. The second race was a pace for $800, with six entries, but three starting, Sleepy George, John McNair and Winder. They got off well, but at the first pole George's bridle broke, bis rider was unseated and he went round in a gallop. Winder took the heat in 2:33J, McNair second. The judges deciding that George's accident was unavoidable gave him his place in the second heat, which he won in 2:28, McNair second, Winder third. The third heat was McNair's in 2:38, Sleepv George taking the next two and the race. Time 2:27i, 2:28.

It Third Itay of the International Convention The Women's Crusade Indorsed. Dayton, June 26 The Y. M. C. A. International Convention met at nine o'clock a. m., President Taylor in the chair. The topic discussed was the international work, origin, growth and methods. Mr. K. McBurney, of New York, gave a history of the Association's first conference held at Bufl'alo, New York, in 1871, when the societies were in a feeble condition. Nine hundred societies are now in existence and their annual expenditures were $70,000.

After the reading of a re port of a committee on the Executive committee's report, the topic for discussion, "Destitute Young Men," was taken up, and addresses were made by Rev. John Doo'ev. of New York, and others. The second topic was "German Associations." which was discussed at length. Invitations were read Horn a nuinuer oi cities asking that the Convention be held in their city next year. Newark, N. J., Augusta, Richmond, Va., and Toronto, Canada, were the cities whose claims were urged. The invitation of Richmond, Va., was accepted and that city designated as the next place of holding the Convention. Adjourned till 7:30. The evening session was devoted exclusively to the temperance question. Several addresses were made on the subject, two Dayton ladies, active crusaders, being among the speakers.

WASHINGTON. MISSISSIPPI SWAMP LANDS. Washington, June 26. The Board to report a plan for permanent reclamation of the alluvial basin of the Mississippi river will probably consist of Generals Warren, H. L. Abbott and Major Ben-guard, of the United States Engineers. The civil engineers are ex-Governor Herbert, of Louisiana, and John Sickles of Arkansas. The exigencies of the service may cause a change of array engineers, but the civil engineers are fixed. MR. t'RESWELL is making arrangements to retire from office next week. Mr. Hale has not yet signified to the President his acceptance of the Postmaster Generalship. Mr. Cres-wcll, in conversation with friends, says reports as to his prospective appointment to the Austrian Mission were groundless. Weather Probabilities.

Under the new postal convention with France the charge for letterB from France to the United states will be ten cents for the third of an ounce, and from the United States to France nine cents for half an ounce, unpaid letters to pay the above rates with five cents additional. The post age on books, newspapers, samples, etc., is to be nereaiter separately arranged by each countrv. Turf Note. During the races last week, at Mt. Vernon, two Knox oounty horses were sold upon the track, after having Bhown their speed in the races, to a Philadel phia gentleman named John iazaun. .he first was the "fanny uuoert" mare, wned by Samuel Gilbert, which brought $1870, and the second was Meshach Critchfield's "Brown Davy," which sold for $500. The Youngstown, O.. horse, "Ohio Boy," trotted in the 2:30 race at Jackson, Michigan, last Ibursday, for a purse or $1500.. He won the race in three straight heats in the lollowing time: first heat, 2:29; second heat, 2:29; third heat, 2:29. He trotted against "Little Mac, "Kan sas Unlet, "Mouie, and two otner horses. The "Ohio Boy's" best former record was 2:31 L He is, therefore, by his last brilliant victory, shut out of the 2:30 races hereafter. Georo'e Francis Train is a living ex ample of the benefits arising from abstaining from animal food. So long as he indulged in pork and beans, rare roast beef, and mutton chops, he wanted to be 1 residenl-jjiciaior oi America, anu nao a hankering after fame, notoriety, popularity, etc. Some people wickedly attributed Train's eccentricities to insanity. But no; it was not that, George Francis was out of his head; it was that he indulged in animal food. His ambition to govern the country, his literary career, his speeches. his r enianism, were all caused by veai cutlets. Had there never been a calf in the world, his career would have been vastly different. On tbe broad back of to bovine race rests all the blame of George Francis Train's mistakes, of his many imprisonments, and his commentary on the Bible. The subtle juices of the savory flesh passing into George's brain were transmitted into lolly, into temporary lunacy, into misdirected ambition, and absurd efforts to ameliorate the condition of other carnivora like himself. Train got tipsy on hash. He has ceased to eat animal food, and he is now a sober man and sees tbe error of his ways. The cause removed, the effect has ceased. more tenderloins, no more Presidential cam-Daitrns. no more Fenian raids. Train has come to recognize that all he has been hitherto aiming at is vanity, and even vanity of vanities. So at least he writes. The Old Catholics in Germany number 70,000 members, with forty priests, and are continually increasing with proselytes from the Roman Church. They have abolished the obligatory character of confessions and fasting, and decided that the liturgy shall be in the language of the country. Priests are also bound to observe strictly the civil legislation on mar riage. Ciilortiinnle Search lor n Desperado EnibeMlement 111 Wayne County Suicide or n Forger. Cincinnati, June 2(1. A letter from Owensburg, Green county, Indiana, says that the whole neighborhood has been hunting George Newman, a -desperado and thief. Last Sunday they drove him into a thicket and surrounded it with armed guards. The orders were that no guard should leave his post till daylight. A little before day B. F. Corbin, an esteemed farmer, saw Newman leave. He left his post and approached Amos Dawson, another guard, to tell him, and Dawson, after calling a halt twice, shot and killed Corbin. Thedesperado escaped. A Wooster special says J. B. Koche, ex-Countv Treasurer of Wayne county, sixtyeight years old, was io aay, on conviction of embezzlement of $20,000, sen tenced to one year in the penitentiary. J. B. Underwood, once Mayor oi wa- verlv. a prominent citizen, was indicted last fall in the United States Court, this citv. for forcing indorsements on two bounty warrants, lor iweive nuna- red and six hundred dollars re snectivelv. and drawing money or the same from banks in Chlllicothe, Ohio. This was done about three years a no. when Underwood, resided at Waver- ly, O. After his indictment he disap peared, but was apprehended last evening, where he was living on a farm three miles west of Oxford, Ohio. The officers gave him permission to go to an adjoining room and change his clothing, and while there he shot himself in the head, and died from the effects this morning. He was sixtveieht years old, and enjoyed good character till he committed the act tor wnicn ne was inoiciea. Mr. Beeeher Hearty to Speak Out If Keqmrea. New York, June 26. Mr. Beeeher was present at the weekly prayer meeting of Plymouth Church tins evening, ine nroceedines were of the UBual devotional character, and no reference was made whatever to Tilton's letter. After the meeting Mr. Beeeher, in conversation with a reporter, said he had at present no intention of saying anything in reply to the recent statements. Me bad a large pastorate under his charge, and had no time for personal controversies. If, however, the examiners of Plymouth Church should decide that it would be well for him to speak out in regard to the recent letter, he would do so without hesitation. A Ten-Tear Old eirl Tries to Poison Family. New York, June 26. Last evening Sarah Jane Reeves, a colored gtrl ten years of age. was committed to the county iail at Elizabeth. N. J., charged with at tempting to poison the lamiiy ot Jonn it. Miller, of Crawford. The girl was employed as a servant in the family of Mr. Miller, and yesterday morning placed enoueh creosote in the coffee and cream to kill twenty persons. When srresUd she confessed the crime, and said she made the attemptto kill the family because she had been badly treated by Miller. She expressed no sorrow for the act, but said she had "tried hard to close her master's mouth for sure." Conclusion of the Snenicerfest. Cleveland. June 26.

Assuming then that the happiness and glory of the Creator are found in con tinuous events which assume the form ot a grand development, and that he is pres ent in all ages alike, then all the incidents in natural life and individual life become bound up in the world's prayers, as flow ers from many fields are bound into one bunch, and one eflect ot color and per fume. The name of Elijah Lovejoy, when the freedom of Bpeech and the free dom of the slave began, is bound by this chain ot progress to the grave of Lincoln where the same freedom of speech and ot love found a final triumph. The thirty years between the two tombs into which both these martyrs fell were only a lew months apart in the gaze of God, which spreads out like a thousand years, as we mortals couut time. When you recall the suns which are a million years sending their greetings of lite from one to the other, and recall the time beyond their time, we can come back to the events of earth, and feel that the martyr at Alton died at 6 in the morning, and the martyr at Washington at 7 in the morning of the same day, and that the heroism of the one lloated like a zephvr into thedyingcham ber of the other. When we recall a day ol Uorf, that it is not one minute frag ment of time made up of a few hours of walking and sleeping, but without any sun-dial or night-watch, spread out its wide expanse until our days fall into it as snow drops into the seas that the scat tered events of earth arrange themselves Bide by side, and tbe troops encamped at Valley Forge, and the troops encamped at Manassas Junction wake up the same night, at the Bame long roll-call of the drum. The up turned faces of martyrs who prayed to Him in Piedmont are as visible as the faces of the children who will repeat the Lord's prayer in this land to-day. HARRIED.

Pen It is a surprising and pleasing filing to observe that the Cincinnati Commercial keeps in mind one of our forgotten paragraphs, long enough for "Creswell's Company" to carry the Commercial to Washington and back, before pitching into it. The surprise is less gratifying and pleasing to find the Commercial preserving a fine bead to its temper during all this long time, so that it pitches in in the most angry and exasperating fashion. The most torrid thermometer could hardly keep one's temper at the boiling point for a week. It is only a lively Bense of gratitude that can fill one with such noble rage at such a distance of time and space. Our readers may have forgotten (we had forgotten) that the State Journal copied from the Chicago Tribune a supposed comment on the Friday speech of Foster in reply to Butler, which was complimentary to Mr. Foster's ability at the expense of his taste. The writer in the' Commercial, with much gratuitous illna-ture, asserts that the paragraph was intended to apply to Butler, although it certainly seemed to us to apply to FoBter. It was a singularly indirect paragraph to find in the Tribune, where the paragraphs . usually stab the sense like a stiletto. The man who supposes that we could willfully misrepresent such a paragraph, especially under such circumstances, must have had his suspicions perverted by very discreditable associations. We have used no harsher language about Foster at any time than the writer of the Commercial uses in his friendly paragraph ; the worst thing we have complained of was that Foster permitted himself to enter into rivalry with pnch a blackguard as Benjamin F. Butler, in the use of his own weapons. We did not wantour Ohio Btpresentative smirched in such an encounter. It is certainly a little exasperating under such circumstances to have the Commercial writer charge us with favoring Butler. . The Commercial writer seems to have made it his Bpecial business to become the expounder and defender of FoBter, and we would not be too fastidious as to any little jealousy he may feel in that quarter. It is a snperserviceable piece of teal, however, showing a supernatural state of anxiety and tension, for him to use the word "garbling." His affection for the beloved object blinds him, and where he would be heroic he is only ridiculous. As we have no desire to misrepresent the position of the Tribune on this or any other question, we quote the paragraph in full, leaving the reader to judge whether the last half of it refers to But ler or Foster. We submit whether any one uninspired by close rapport with the Tribune's Washington umbilical would not have been liable to suppose, as we did, from a mere glance, that the part from the words, "Next came Mr. Foster," refer red to Mr. Foster'a own speech : Mr. Butler delivered bis big speech last night to a full house. He undertook I defense of himself in the Jayne and San born cases, and incidentally did what lay in his power to impuen the veracity and good faith of the men who appeared as prosecutors of the informer system before the Ways and Means committee. The speech was intensely personal. Poor Mr. Dodge came in for a terrible excoriation, in which grave accusations followed close upon mean insinuations, and which was throughout colored by misrepresentation and audacious talsehood. Jext came Mr, Foster. His motives in pressing the San' born investigation were attacked, but. on the whole, he has no reason to mourn over his appearance in the case, from first to last. The speech is well worth reading as a specimen of the worst style of Con Kressional oratory. It is smart, but not truthful; powerful, but not decent Pictures of Columbus Jour nalists. The Columbus Gazette of yesterday has a sprightly and readable series of Personals under the above title, serving up the State Journal corps in various styles-stewed, roasted, grilled, deviled and so forth. Not to be behindhand in professional courtesies, a reporter ' from the State Journal was sent around to the Gazette office yesterday, armed with a collection of railroad passes and other deadhead persuaders, to catch the eye of the Gazette people and get good likenesses. He came back a little before midnight last night, in a condition which showed that he had not been with the Crusaders. He said Dodithon's wine was the pure juice of the grape, and he would never drink any more stuBf of any other kind, o long as grass run and water grew. He went home with symptoms of cholic at about one o'clock; leaving an amateur reporter to patci up his report the best he could from the very imperfect notes left in his possession. If there are any inaccuracies in the report they must be charged to the fact that the wine played Old Gooseberry with our reporter. The first person on the notes iB CHARLES SCOTT GLENN. Mr. Glenn is a little man with intensely black hair, and a melodious. base voice, pitched on CC below. He has ears of touching sweetness, and corduroy pantaloons. He is distinguished for a whole-souled love of peanuts, and double-soled Alligator boots. When composing his articles he wears the melancholy, fore boding look of the despairing child of genius, whom the gods love, and who dies young. (Sweet are the uses of adver tisements.) Mr. Glenn is the author of those thrilling notices of brood mares and high born stallions, which have made the Gazette peerless among newspapers wherever the English language is spoken. He also writes the marriage notices, premium lists of the County Fair, obituaries, Bingle wraps, notices of stray pigs and wives, stolen jackasses, and loBt poodles. The excellence of all these de-partments in the Gazette shows that Char ley is one of our most talented journalists. In addition to this he is a thoroughly com petent business man, and knows everything about a printing office from cellar to garret. He graduated in the State Journal office, and (to put it in the original Greek) he knows his biz. AUGUSTUS B. LAURENS is a Virginian by name and a poet by nature. He is a descendant in a direct line from one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and always keeps up a little celebration of his own in memory of the day. Mr. Laurens is a tall, fair-haired man, elegantly dreBsed and close shaven, who wears a seven-and-a-half plug hat with the greatest precision and elegance. He is the poet laureate of the Gazette, and has published a collection ot his finer poems in a handsome volume none genuine unless sold by the property authorized agents. We coine now to the leading writer on the Gazette, the author of Walks Along the Kiver, Summer in the Country, Our Say (this is not the beer man), and various other charming papers in the Gazette. Need we say (no, we need not, in this community,) that we refer to DAVID DODITHON. This gentleman is one of those remarkable characters who would be noticed any-,where, in any gathering, as one not of the common herd. You would recognize him at once as a natural flutist, and a lover of the gentle watermelon. He is rather fastidious as to dress, wearing store clothes and a sheep-Bkin overcoat most of the year round. While summering in the country he decorates himself with a palm leaf hat and red suspenders which look Bweet- ly amid the gay and innocent surroundings of rural life. As seen going about on his farm, in this chaste and simple costume, milking the pigs, mulching the turnips, grafting the beans, and doing other little odd chores of scientific farming, he is a pleasing ex ample of that wholesome existence which as been sung by poets since Adam delved and Eve Bpun. (We don't believe Adam ever did delve, but we don't care Adam, in this connection, as it is all poetic license, anyhow.) To return to our mut ton, when we contemplate Dodithon in the innocent hilarity of Hub pastoral ex hitence we feel that Plough delp' while sluggards sleep, And you shall have corn to sell and to keep. All the Doctor Franklin in our nature comes bubbling out, as we observe this early bird harvesting his worms, setting an unavailing example to all workers on morning newspaper, who neglect the great maxim Ho who would thrive Must rise at five. To see him thus at eventide, after a fru gal meal of buttermilk and onions, blow ing his soul away to everlasting bliss on that flute, the ravishing tones of Bonny Doon mingling with the solemn bleating of the calves and the plaintive howla of the house dog, is to wish that there were no such thing as editors and Columbus Gazettes in the world. Yet, he who should rashly express such a wish would do injustice to the in finite objectivity of the ail-embracing Ego. For when you have seen Dodithon working among the onion beds and cavorting on the flute, you have seen only the lab aide of him. as it were. To see him composing those Laconoclastic Poyserism in " Our Say," is to see him at his level best and that is a huckleberry above any farm persimmon. You will hardly prepared to credit it, but he writes those wonderful paragraphs while playing the flute with one hand, and balancing crookneck squash of his own raising on the end of his venerable nose. He play Bonny Doon all the time he composes, occasionally fondling the squash, in an absent minded way, as though tossing the skill like this that makes angels weep. The paragraphs prove it. This leads us to speak of the personal appearance of the man. He is a man of about five feet eight, bisected about midway by a pair of nankeen pantaloons, based on No. 11 Oxford ties. His golden hair falls in graceful festoons around a Gothic neck ; and he rears up gently in walking, like one raising himself endwise over eleven inches of toe. He is beautiful he is good. Children cry for him and mothers bless him. We could say more, but the Managing Editor won't let us. He swears that if we write another line he will send us to Straitsville to report the riot, That settles it. Prison Barbarity. The existing condition of things in the Missouri State Prison is thus described by the St. Louis Democrat : Work is still suspended, and will be suspended until what is called "discipline" is restored, or until a general jail-break is made, and mincemeat manu factured out of some contractors and officials. Meanwhile, the days are being employed in dragging out half suffocated wretches from their "blind cell," tying them to a whipping-post, and lashing them with a cat o' nine tails, manufactured especially for the purpose, till they faint away; whereupon Dr. Young hastens to feel their pulses, and, as soon as he ascertains that the prisoners are able to stand some more lashing, without absolutely killing them, will give a sign, and the executioners renew their duty. If we are not mistaken, the doctor has confessed himself unable to attend to more than twelve such cases a day, and as the number assigned to "punishment" is mentioned at two hundred, it must take about twenty days supposing that religious considerations do not permit him to officiate on Sunday before the whole lot is got through with. How many of them will die under or in consequence of the operation, will never be known, for neither the doctor nor the penitentiary officials are likely to divulge it, and no one else can know. Tubtilnr Iron. At a recent meeting of the American Tubular Iron and Steel Association, at Philadelphia, it was stated that tubular wrought iron manufactured by the American process is stronger, Bafer and less lia ble to crystallization man soua wrougni iron. Car axles were cited as an example, and these, it was asserted, could be made as strong, safe and' reliable, and, with 25 per cent, less weight, would Bave as much motive power as is required to propel the extra weight. In addition, the tubular wrought iron can be made to cost no more per lineal foot than solid iron. The process of manufacture is briefly as follows : Segmental circular bars are first rolled, one set lor the interior, an other for the exterior of the pile, taking care in piling to have one set lap or break joints over the other. These two segments are piled over shorter interval bars or rings, or rings and bars. The bars are made at the same heat that the iron is of which they are composed. In heating the hollow pile is heated from the outside and inside at the same time. In welding the outer and inner segments, piled over the shorter segments and rings, form a verv strong arch, which is maintained throughout the welding and reduction of the pile, produces a tube not only lap-welded, but also a tube with varying lameters, and without any internal former.

Third Day of (lie Baces-FIne Weather nnd Large Attendance. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Lancaster, June 26. The third days races were well favored to-day, both by the weather and attendance. The first race was a trot for 3:38 horses, three best in five, for a $600 purse. Out of thirteen entries nine started. After an hour's scoring the horses got away, making all kinds of a heat, and coming in in the fol lowing order : Bed Oak, Maggie Kember- ly, Josie Blonde, Dick Sliter, Belle Bras-field, ForeBt Maid, Silver Maid, Belle Brikley. Time 2:41. The second heat was taken by Keel Qak in the Bame time; Dick Sliter second, Blonde third, Belle Rrasfield fourth. Josie fifth. Belle Brikley sixth, Silver Maid seventh, Forest- Maid eighth. Maggie Kemberly ninth. The, third heat was won oy iteo uaa, neue Brasfield second, Dick Sliter third. Time 2:40 J. The second race was a pace for $800, with six entries, but three starting, Sleepy George, John McNair and Winder. They got off well, but at the first pole George's bridle broke, bis rider was unseated and he went round in a gallop. Winder took the heat in 2:33J, McNair second. The judges deciding that George's accident was unavoidable gave him his place in the second heat, which he won in 2:28, McNair second, Winder third. The third heat was McNair's in 2:38, Sleepv George taking the next two and the race. Time 2:27i, 2:28.

It Third Itay of the International Convention The Women's Crusade Indorsed. Dayton, June 26 The Y. M. C. A. International Convention met at nine o'clock a. m., President Taylor in the chair. The topic discussed was the international work, origin, growth and methods. Mr. K. McBurney, of New York, gave a history of the Association's first conference held at Bufl'alo, New York, in 1871, when the societies were in a feeble condition. Nine hundred societies are now in existence and their annual expenditures were $70,000. General discussion followed ontlis best way of raising funds, after which a list of associations represented in the Convention was called, and 6296 subscribed for carrying on international work. Becess till 3 p. m. At the afternoon session a resolution was adopted welcoming W. Hind Smith, of Manchester, England, and he was elected honorary Vice President of the Convention. After the reading of a re port of a committee on the Executive committee's report, the topic for discussion, "Destitute Young Men," was taken up, and addresses were made by Rev. John Doo'ev. of New York, and others. The second topic was "German Associations." which was discussed at length. Invitations were read Horn a nuinuer oi cities asking that the Convention be held in their city next year. Newark, N. J., Augusta, Richmond, Va., and Toronto, Canada, were the cities whose claims were urged. The invitation of Richmond, Va., was accepted and that city designated as the next place of holding the Convention. Adjourned till 7:30. The evening session was devoted exclusively to the temperance question. Several addresses were made on the subject, two Dayton ladies, active crusaders, being among the speakers. Resolutions were adopted cordially indorsing the Women's temperance movement, and pledging hearty support to the work. CINCINNATI. FBAMCE. PROPOSED EXTENSION OF MACMAHON's TERM. Parts, June 26.

WASHINGTON. MISSISSIPPI SWAMP LANDS. Washington, June 26. The Board to report a plan for permanent reclamation of the alluvial basin of the Mississippi river will probably consist of Generals Warren, H. L. Abbott and Major Ben-guard, of the United States Engineers. The civil engineers are ex-Governor Herbert, of Louisiana, and John Sickles of Arkansas. The exigencies of the service may cause a change of array engineers, but the civil engineers are fixed. MR. t'RESWELL is making arrangements to retire from office next week. Mr. Hale has not yet signified to the President his acceptance of the Postmaster Generalship. Mr. Cres-wcll, in conversation with friends, says reports as to his prospective appointment to the Austrian Mission were groundless. Weather Probabilities.

Vernon, two Knox oounty horses were sold upon the track, after having Bhown their speed in the races, to a Philadel phia gentleman named John iazaun. .he first was the "fanny uuoert" mare, wned by Samuel Gilbert, which brought $1870, and the second was Meshach Critchfield's "Brown Davy," which sold for $500. The Youngstown, O.. horse, "Ohio Boy," trotted in the 2:30 race at Jackson, Michigan, last Ibursday, for a purse or $1500.. He won the race in three straight heats in the lollowing time: first heat, 2:29; second heat, 2:29; third heat, 2:29. He trotted against "Little Mac, "Kan sas Unlet, "Mouie, and two otner horses. The "Ohio Boy's" best former record was 2:31 L He is, therefore, by his last brilliant victory, shut out of the 2:30 races hereafter. Georo'e Francis Train is a living ex ample of the benefits arising from abstaining from animal food. So long as he indulged in pork and beans, rare roast beef, and mutton chops, he wanted to be 1 residenl-jjiciaior oi America, anu nao a hankering after fame, notoriety, popularity, etc. Some people wickedly attributed Train's eccentricities to insanity. But no; it was not that, George Francis was out of his head; it was that he indulged in animal food. His ambition to govern the country, his literary career, his speeches. his r enianism, were all caused by veai cutlets. Had there never been a calf in the world, his career would have been vastly different. On tbe broad back of to bovine race rests all the blame of George Francis Train's mistakes, of his many imprisonments, and his commentary on the Bible. The subtle juices of the savory flesh passing into George's brain were transmitted into lolly, into temporary lunacy, into misdirected ambition, and absurd efforts to ameliorate the condition of other carnivora like himself. Train got tipsy on hash. He has ceased to eat animal food, and he is now a sober man and sees tbe error of his ways. The cause removed, the effect has ceased. more tenderloins, no more Presidential cam-Daitrns. no more Fenian raids. Train has come to recognize that all he has been hitherto aiming at is vanity, and even vanity of vanities. So at least he writes. The Old Catholics in Germany number 70,000 members, with forty priests, and are continually increasing with proselytes from the Roman Church. They have abolished the obligatory character of confessions and fasting, and decided that the liturgy shall be in the language of the country. Priests are also bound to observe strictly the civil legislation on mar riage. Ciilortiinnle Search lor n Desperado EnibeMlement 111 Wayne County Suicide or n Forger. Cincinnati, June 2(1. A letter from Owensburg, Green county, Indiana, says that the whole neighborhood has been hunting George Newman, a -desperado and thief. Last Sunday they drove him into a thicket and surrounded it with armed guards. The orders were that no guard should leave his post till daylight. A little before day B. F. Corbin, an esteemed farmer, saw Newman leave. He left his post and approached Amos Dawson, another guard, to tell him, and Dawson, after calling a halt twice, shot and killed Corbin. Thedesperado escaped. A Wooster special says J. B. Koche, ex-Countv Treasurer of Wayne county, sixtyeight years old, was io aay, on conviction of embezzlement of $20,000, sen tenced to one year in the penitentiary. J. B.

This was done about three years a no. when Underwood, resided at Waver- ly, O. After his indictment he disap peared, but was apprehended last evening, where he was living on a farm three miles west of Oxford, Ohio. The officers gave him permission to go to an adjoining room and change his clothing, and while there he shot himself in the head, and died from the effects this morning. He was sixtveieht years old, and enjoyed good character till he committed the act tor wnicn ne was inoiciea. Mr. Beeeher Hearty to Speak Out If Keqmrea. New York, June 26. Mr. Beeeher was present at the weekly prayer meeting of Plymouth Church tins evening, ine nroceedines were of the UBual devotional character, and no reference was made whatever to Tilton's letter. After the meeting Mr. Beeeher, in conversation with a reporter, said he had at present no intention of saying anything in reply to the recent statements. Me bad a large pastorate under his charge, and had no time for personal controversies. If, however, the examiners of Plymouth Church should decide that it would be well for him to speak out in regard to the recent letter, he would do so without hesitation. A Ten-Tear Old eirl Tries to Poison Family. New York, June 26. Last evening Sarah Jane Reeves, a colored gtrl ten years of age. was committed to the county iail at Elizabeth. N. J., charged with at tempting to poison the lamiiy ot Jonn it. Miller, of Crawford. The girl was employed as a servant in the family of Mr. Miller, and yesterday morning placed enoueh creosote in the coffee and cream to kill twenty persons. When srresUd she confessed the crime, and said she made the attemptto kill the family because she had been badly treated by Miller. She expressed no sorrow for the act, but said she had "tried hard to close her master's mouth for sure." Conclusion of the Snenicerfest. Cleveland. June 26.

Assuming then that the happiness and glory of the Creator are found in con tinuous events which assume the form ot a grand development, and that he is pres ent in all ages alike, then all the incidents in natural life and individual life become bound up in the world's prayers, as flow ers from many fields are bound into one bunch, and one eflect ot color and per fume. The name of Elijah Lovejoy, when the freedom of Bpeech and the free dom of the slave began, is bound by this chain ot progress to the grave of Lincoln where the same freedom of speech and ot love found a final triumph. The thirty years between the two tombs into which both these martyrs fell were only a lew months apart in the gaze of God, which spreads out like a thousand years, as we mortals couut time. When you recall the suns which are a million years sending their greetings of lite from one to the other, and recall the time beyond their time, we can come back to the events of earth, and feel that the martyr at Alton died at 6 in the morning, and the martyr at Washington at 7 in the morning of the same day, and that the heroism of the one lloated like a zephvr into thedyingcham ber of the other. When we recall a day ol Uorf, that it is not one minute frag ment of time made up of a few hours of walking and sleeping, but without any sun-dial or night-watch, spread out its wide expanse until our days fall into it as snow drops into the seas that the scat tered events of earth arrange themselves Bide by side, and tbe troops encamped at Valley Forge, and the troops encamped at Manassas Junction wake up the same night, at the Bame long roll-call of the drum. The up turned faces of martyrs who prayed to Him in Piedmont are as visible as the faces of the children who will repeat the Lord's prayer in this land to-day. HARRIED.
